Here’s a fun question that not only have I myself asked, but I get asked fairly often, why do we hear a call out like “roger roll” or “roll program complete” at which point we can see the rocket rotate or roll on its X axis… The best example of this was the Space Shuttle which had a very obvious and dramatic roll program. As soon as it cleared the tower, you can see it making a very impressive and sometimes scary looking roll. Now a maneuver like this makes sense when a vehicle is asymmetrical like the Space Shuttle, but why do cylindrical rockets like the Saturn V, Titan, Atlas, Delta IV etc etc even bother doing a roll? Can’t rockets just tip over in whatever direction they need to go? Do a little pitch here, a little yaw there just as long as the pointy end is going the direction it’s intended to go, who cares which side of the rocket is facing the Earth and which side is facing space… right? So today we’ll first define the pitch, yaw, roll and their corresponding axis on a rocket, then we’re going to dive into why a rocket rolls in the first place, take a look at launch azimuths and their relationships to trajectories and we’ll look at some unique solutions to orientations including some rockets that don’t roll on ascent to align with their trajectory.

After a successful launch of the Falcon 9 with the first Dragon 2 spacecraft, Elon Musk and members of the team from NASA and SpaceX discuss the successful launch with the media.

Watch and discuss live as #SpaceX launches #DM1, their third mission of 2019 and their first flight of #CrewDragon onboard a Falcon 9 rocket. This launch will utilize a brand new booster to launch their first Crew Dragon. This will be the first of 2 demonstration missions to the ISS in 2019, followed by the first operational Missions at the end of 2019 or beginning of 2020. This mission must perform a successful separation & deployment of Dragon into the target orbit, successful autonomous docking to the ISS, successful undocking from the ISS, successful reentry and splashdown of Dragon over the course of 6 days. The NASA Commercial Crew Program is NASA's current initiative to use commercial companies to delivery astronauts to low earth orbit, particularly the International Space Station. Currently both SpaceX and Boeing are developing platforms for this via SpaceX's Crew Dragon and Boeing's CST-100 Starliner. ************************************************************** To learn more about our weather balloon flights, Arduino based flight computer, APRS transmitter, RTTY radio transmitter, ham radio balloon tracking methods or any of our other on-board technology and data sensors visit ➡️ http://overlookhorizon.com Connect with us ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com ➡️http://youtube.com/OLHZN ➡️http://facebook.com/overlookhorizon ➡️http://twitter.com/OLHZN ➡️http://instagram.com/OLHZN ➡️http://reddit.com/u/olhzn ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/discord 501(c)(3) Charitable Donations ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/donate ➡️https://donorbox.org/olhzn ➡️https://paypal.com/fundraiser/charity/2727446 ➡️https://smile.amazon.com/ch/82-3099711 Shop & see the weather balloon equipment we use: ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/shop ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/shirts ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/photos Giveaway Rules No Purchase Necessary.

footage of the crew dragon spacecraft separation from the 2nd stage falcon 9 rocket

spaceX launched its dragon spacecraft under the auspice of nasa into space, on its first demo-1 mission to the international space station

NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine is interviewed before the launch of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket with the Crew Dragon onboard for Demo-1, the first uncrewed flight test by SpaceX under NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. Launch was at 2:49 a.m. EST on March 2, from Launch Complex 39A at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

The SpaceX Crew Dragon separates from the second stage of the company’s Falcon 9 rocket and is on its way to the International Space Station. The test flight, called Demo-1, is the first time a commercially built and operated American spacecraft designed for humans will dock to the space station. Launch occurred at 2:49 a.m. EST on March 2, from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

At 2:49 a.m. EST on March 2, SpaceX launched Crew Dragon’s first demonstration mission from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The intent of this test flight without crew on board the spacecraft was to demonstrate SpaceX’s capabilities to safely and reliably fly astronauts to and from the International Space Station as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. Crew Dragon docked with the ISS on March 3 at 3:02 a.m. PST, becoming the first American spacecraft to autonomously dock with the orbiting laboratory. The spacecraft undocked from the ISS at 11:32 p.m. PST on March 7 and splashed down in the Atlantic Ocean at 5:45 a.m. PST on March 8.

Take a tour of the interior of SpaceX's Crew Dragon, targeted to launch on its first (uncrewed) demonstration flight on March 2, 2019. Crew Dragon is designed to transport up to four astronauts for NASA missions, along with critical cargo and supplies, to the International Space Station as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. The Crew Dragon features solar arrays affixed to the side of the spacecraft’s trunk, a launch escape system that will allow crew members to escape an anomaly at any point during flight, a large hatch and windows and a redesigned outer mold line to enhance crew comfort. The first uncrewed flight is an important step in returning human launches on American rockets and spacecraft to the space station from U.S. soil since 2011.

SpaceX’s upcoming rocket called Starship Super Heavy formerly known as BFR, will no longer be made out of lightweight Carbon Composites, it’ll sweat a lot, and just MIGHT need a TON of WD-40. So we’ll take a look at all of Elon’s most recent claims about stainless steel actually being the best option and see if we come to the same conclusion. We’ll also take a look at some other rockets that are made of stainless steel and explain how SpaceX's use of this material is a little different as they’ll be using new manufacturing techniques and doing things that have never been attempted before. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This video in article version - https://everydayastronaut.com/stainless-steel-starship/ Amazing Starship renders and turn table animation by Reese Carges - https://twitter.com/AstroReeseW Thanks to HazeGrayArt for letting me use his awesome Starship landing animation!!!

SpaceX is building a massive massive new rocket down in Boca Chica Texas that will never make it to space. No, this isn’t clickbait, this particular rocket will never go to space. Because it’s not designed to. This is just a hopper version of their upcoming starship, that some people are calling StarHopper, and at first, this thing will likely only fly a few meters at most. But don’t get me wrong, of course when the actual Starship goes online, I fully expect it to make it to space! So today we’re going to do a quick history on SpaceX’s previous fleet of hoppers, why they build them, what this one is going to accomplish and then we’ll build a version in Kerbal Space Program and demonstrate what we’ll hopefully see the StarHopper do in 2019! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How to install Realism Overhaul to Kerbal Space Program - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0a6PLkDUWF4 Thanks to HazeGrayArt for letting me use his awesome Starship landing animation!!!

They're working around the clock building this thing, and while it doesn't look like something that would fly, Elon Musk keeps telling us it will. Which leads to questions as to why it's designed the way it is, why the team seem to be working so hard, whether the engine nozzles we can see are attached to real engines?

Comments by Elon Musk on Twitter tell us that SpaceX will be turning the Upper stage of Falcon 9 into something closer to the upper stage of the BFR to test key technologies: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1060253333116473344 Details are of course vague at this time, but after thinking about it I think I have a good idea of what to expect based on what's been revealed, what we know and when this is supposed to fly.

Yes, I know I just woke up and the Soyuz story needs to be covered, that'll be done in a couple of hours. However here's what I recorded last night about the Air Force funding of these 2 future launch vehicles, which is big news for US launch industry.

Reuters reports that Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov said on Thursday he hoped the United States would be understanding about a malfunction that occurred during a launch of the “Soyuz” spacecraft. He was quoted as saying by Interfax news agency that manned space flights would be suspended until an investigation into the causes of the malfunction is completed. “Soyuz” made an emergency landing near the city of Zhezkazgan in central Kazakhstan after its booster rockets failed in mid-air en route to the International Space Station. It had a Russian cosmonaut and a U.S. astronaut on board. http://feeds.reuters.com/~r/reuters/topNews/~3/n8vIMQg9fc4/russia-hopes-usa-will-be-understanding-about-soyuz-incident-ifax-idUSKCN1ML1BM http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit Tech using http://wochit.com

Ariane 6 will play a key role in an exciting international Moon exploration project. To be continued… 🚀🌙

With SpaceX announcing the BFR's first official mission to the moon, the possibility of Earth to Earth travel seems a little bit closer. In this video, we look at what needs to be done before Earth to Earth rocket travel can replace the traditional airliners that we use today. We also compare the dawn of passenger rocket travel to the early days of airplanes. Thanks for watching this Primal Space video.

Elon Musk updated the world with the plans for SpaceX's BFR at SpaceX HQ in Hawthorne. I attended to learn about all the new exciting changes! For now, we're going to just look at what has changed with the vehicle over the years and why it keeps changing. Later we'll do more in depth videos about Yusaku Maezawa's beautiful #dearmoon project and the weird reentry system of the new BFR!

The 700 tonne steel table that will support Ariane 6 at liftoff was transferred to the pad at Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana on 10 September 2018. It is so large that it arrived in parts by ship in February and was then welded together and fitted with equipment at a preparation area 250 m from the launch pad. Moving this giant 4 m high, 20 m long and 18 m wide table to its permanent position on the centre of the pad is complex. Four hydraulic jacks lifted the table then two trollies moved the table to the edge of the launch pad. A temporary railway and a mechanical guidance system helped roll the table into position over the centre of the pad where it will be lowered with millimeter precision into its final position. Further mechanical, fluidic and electrical equipment will be installed inside and outside the table.

During a rocket launch, the sound energy produced by the engines is strong enough to seriously damage anything in close proximity. So how do NASA get around this problem? This video looks at the methods NASA and the Russians use to reduce the sound energy during a rocket launch. Thanks for watching this Primal Space video.

China will launch its first commercial solid-propellant carrier rocket developed by a Chinese private company later this year. The ZQ-1 rocket was developed by Landspace, a Beijing-based rocket-maker. Its technicians are former state-owned aerospace industry workers. Carrying a small satellite, the rocket will be launched at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China. The 19-meter-long rocket has a 1.35-meter diameter, a takeoff weight of 27 tons and thrust of 45 tons. It is flexible, cost-efficient and has been designed with mature technology and a fast response ability. The satellite, Future, carried by the rocket is for space science and remote sensing for a TV show on China Central Television. It will orbit for two years. The company also plans to launch ZQ-2, a liquid-fueled rocket, in 2020. ZQ is short for zhuque, which means 'vermilion bird'. It is one of the four spirits of ancient Chinese mythology, representing fire and controlling the southerly direction. China has more than 60 private companies entering the commercial space industry. They are growing fast and competing in the market for launches of small satellites and rockets.

Six decades of NASA’s supersonic research is leading the way into a new era of aviation. This research has resulted in cutting-edge technology and a unique aerodynamic design that will demonstrate the ability to fly faster than the speed of sound without creating a loud sonic boom. This will be done in flight, through the agency’s newest supersonic X-plane, the X-59 Quiet SuperSonic Technology (QueSST) aircraft. While preliminary flight research continues using F-18 research aircraft, NASA’s test pilots and engineers are developing and training with state-of-the-art tools, including simulators, an advanced eXternal Vision System (XVS), and community response technologies in anticipation of the X-59, which will be used to measure public response to sonic thumps beginning in 2023.

Look inside Boeing’s Starliner and SpaceX’s Crew Dragon, the commercial spacecraft that will fly astronauts from the U.S. to the International Space Station for the first time since 2011.

NASA recently announced who will be flying on the first commercial crew flights and both Boeing and SpaceX are racing to get their spaceships, their launch sites AND their spacesuits ready to return humans to space from US soil. Boeing’s spaceship is the CST-100 Starliner, a capsule shaped spacecraft that can fly up to 7 astronauts to space. For NASA missions to the International Space Station, it will fly up to 4 astronauts at a time, filling the rest of the capsule with cargo. The Starliner will launch on top of perhaps the most reliable rocket ever made. ULA’s Atlas V with 2 strap on solid rocket motors and 2 RL-10 upper stage engines. A configuration that an Atlas 5 has never actually flown before, but all the hardware has been flown many times throughout history. Check out my article all about what it's like to train with the Boeing CST-100 Starliner and wear their incredible space suit! https://everydayastronaut.com/boeing-starliner-astronaut/ What it's like to wear Boeing's Space Suit video - https://youtu.be/FaOAsUR-o-U Show your support, get a chance to win flown hardware and join our exclusive discord channel by becoming a Patron - http://patreon.com/everydayastronaut Music by Everyday Astronaut - http://soundcloud.com/everydayastronaut Everyday Astronaut hats, prints, shirts and more at - https://everydayastronaut.com/shop/ SpaceX models by Oli Braun http://twitter.com/oli_braun and his store - https://www.buzzspacemodels.com/

Stratolaunch has announced that their carrier plane, the largest ever built with a wingspan of 385 ft. (117 m), will have many vehicles to carry to launch altitude - including a space plane. -- Full Story: https://www.space.com/41548-stratolaunch-rocket-family-space-plane-revealed.html Credit: Space.com / footage & animation courtesy: Stratolaunch / produced and edited by Steve Spaleta http://www.twitter.com/stevespaleta

Jessi Hempel, Wired senior writer, joins the 'Squawk Box' team to discuss Paul Allen's newest 385-foot airplane.

After finding out there was a company developing a smallsat launch vehicle practically in my back yard I hard to find out more. However the company is still in stealth mode - even calling themselves "Stealth Space Company" on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/company/stealth-space-company/) - but between sightings of their booster, public documents, grants and leases I've got a pretty good idea of what their booster is like. The public rocket views come from a local news station which caught site of the booster in Alameda https://abc7news.com/technology/sky7-spots-stealthy-space-startup-testing-its-rocket-in-alameda/3097474/
